The fact that the proof uses only very weak properties of the notion of "complexity" does not show that the proof is invalid. In fact, it suggests (not with certainty) the opposite: that an even stronger result could be proven.
Yes, it is likely that a stronger result is possible. However, it is difficult to make it stronger while satisfying my conditions (true in all possible worlds; true according to every logically consistent assignment of priors).
